OK, this is odd! LOGICALLY, AS people should be more likely to be right handed, but most here are ambidextrous with most of the rest left handed!! I use and am certainly better with my right, but I guess I am kind of ambidextrous. I have roughly the same control and, a few days ago, tried to get the same control. In a few minutes, both hands were nearly the same.

I must be psychic cause I was thinking this very thing yesterday and even considered posting it.

I am Ambidextrous. Used my Left most as a young child, turned right in school and now I use both even for writing, depends on the day.

My AS son is left handed but shows signs of being Ambidextrous. My AS father is Ambidextrous and I can't tell which hand he favors more.

I use my left for most things I can think of. Except some things I often use my right because this world seems to be set up that way, e.g. computer mice are always on the right.

That could get dangerous.

I'm a righty, righty enough that my whole left side feels lighter than my right. My right side is more dominant, more flexible and more strong.

Left for writing, no preference for much else, except weapons. Rifle trigger is right hand, and the left hand holds the forward of it. Prefer my left for pistols, grenades, and melee weapons.

Its that we are too AS even for the AS crowd I'm sure. Lol.
I can do most things with my left as well as my right but my right IS the powerhouse. I swear my right side weighs more than my left.

Ambidextrous

Writing is mostly muscle memory though so the side you normally write with youd be better with regardless of whether you are ambi or not.

A lot of people who are ambi don't know it.
